I am currently a first year college student, and I have heard a variety of students that they add their minors at different times, but since I am a biology major, when is it the right time to add a minor? (I am considering to minoring in speech and hearing disorders OR psychology).
The right time to add a minor is whatever time allows you to complete all the courses before you finish college. Some classes have to be taken in sequence, so sometimes even if you only have 5 classes in the minor, it may take you 2-3 years to take all of them to make sure you have the prerequisites. If you already know what you want to minor in, you can go ahead and declare now; if you don’t, then try taking the intro class for each minor and see if you like it.
